How cool! Sorry to ask an unrelated question: I saw something about how people shouldn't perform airdrop claims on Handshake mainnet yet because transfers are still disabled, is that still true?

Yep! Once transfers are enabled in ~6 hours (https://hnsxplorer.com/) you'll be able to claim, but not before then. This tool can help you claim your coins easily https://namebase.io/airdrop (currently worth ~$2000 at market price but imo it's better to actually play around with them and hold rather than sell everything immediately).
Yes, this is true, but the transfers are being enabled later today (evening Pacific).

Transfers will be enabled on Block 2016, and blocks are ~every 10 minutes - right now ~1960.

If you are reading this on Feb 15th or afterwards, claims and auctions are working. Non-custodial options are Bob and using cli. Namebase is the only custodial option right now.
